My Daily Life of Farming in the World of Cultivation

After securing the five fruits, Fang Yun opened the panel.

Control over Plants: Vines, Metal Plants

Spirit Pet: Spiritual Insect

The increase of one hundred points in Life Essence Qi did not mean that the matured metal plants provided only one hundred points of Life Essence Qi.

Rather, a lot of Life Essence Qi was also consumed when inducing the growth of the metal plants, but Fang Yun had not paid attention to the exact amount.

With the complete maturation of the metal plants, the previously consumed Life Essence Qi returned, even slightly more than before, which could be considered good news.

Following that, Fang Yun glanced at the metal plant's stalk.

Since it had succumbed to death, Fang Yun could no longer control it.

The only choice was to leave it where it was, to be used as material if needed later.

With this in mind, Fang Yun, carrying the five fruits, directed the vines towards the base of the mountain.

Reaching the foot of the mountain, he didn't hurry back to his dwelling but instead headed towards the seaside.

As there had been a great commotion here before, and although it had calmed now, Fang Yun was still somewhat concerned and decided to carefully inspect whether there was anything else that could pose a threat to him.

Upon arriving at the beach, Fang Yun noticed that the turbulence above the sea surface persisted, but the sea fish and other animals were no longer desperately swarming towards the shore.

Instead, due to a large number of fish gathering here earlier, numerous carnivorous marine animals also appeared and began to feed frenziedly.

This resulted in significant disturbances around the coastal area.

Standing on the shore, Fang Yun watched for a long time and saw only ordinary marine creatures fighting among themselves, with no demon beasts appearing.

Seeing this, Fang Yun felt reassured.

He picked some good-looking fish from the shore and then returned to his cave.

After a simple meal, Fang Yun took out the fruits.

Glancing at the spirited and alert Spiritual Insect, he channeled mana into the fruits.

Then, using his mana, he split a fruit into two halves.

Due to the fruit's unique metallic composition, it was not something Fang Yun could easily crack open with his hands.

The halves of the fruit revealed red flesh, shimmering with a cold gleam,

and displayed platinum-colored seeds.

In the instant Fang Yun saw the flesh, he knew it was not something he could eat.

His stomach was not yet capable of digesting metal.

So, extracting the seeds and setting the flesh aside,

the Spiritual Insect chirped joyfully and then pounced on the flesh, consuming it voraciously.

Fang Yun paid no attention to the Spiritual Insect feasting on the flesh and picked up the platinum-colored seeds to examine.

A close observation revealed that the Fire Attribute energy inside the seeds had already diminished slightly over this short period.

This discovery made Fang Yun frown, instantly understanding the reason.

One aspect was the nature of the Fire Attribute energy, which is innately active.

Another aspect was that even though the Fire Attribute energy had entered the fruits and seeds,

the resulting energy structure was not very stable.

Therefore, as time passed, the Fire Attribute energy inside the fruits and seeds would gradually dissipate.

With this in mind, Fang Yun retrieved the other four fruits.

Indeed, he noticed that both the fruits and seeds contained less Fire Attribute energy than what he had observed earlier.

Realizing this, Fang Yun felt somewhat disappointed.

However, cultivating Fire Attribute plants was never an easy task,

and some setbacks were only to be expected.

At least the Fire Attribute energy had entered the seeds, which was a positive start.

However, since the Fire Attribute energy inside the seeds continued to decrease,

waiting further was not an option.

Fang Yun carefully observed the rate of energy loss in the five seeds

and ultimately chose a seed that was still inside a fruit.

There was no choice; the induction process of the metal plants had consumed too much Life Essence Qi.

Relying on his reserved Life Essence Qi, he simply could not induce all the seeds.

After all, Fang Yun needed to conserve most of his Life Essence Qi for unexpected needs.

After splitting the fruit and retrieving the seeds,

Fang Yun fed the fruits to the Spiritual Insect, then went back up the mountain.

He arrived at the location where the metal plants were previously cultivated.

There, the stalks of the previous generation of metal plants served as a foundation.

Perfect for being nutrients for the new generation of metal plants.

However, before planting, Fang Yun had to start with the initial induction.

Since no issues had arisen during the final stage of inducing the metal plants with Life Essence Qi,

the initial induction should also be fine.

What concerned him most was the time it would take for the seeds to sprout naturally if he did not induce them.

Considering how the Fire Attribute energy was dissipating from the seeds, by the time they germinated, the energy would have already vanished.

As Life Essence Qi was infused, the metallic outer shell of the seeds began to crack.

Then a reddish-golden root slowly emerged from the seeds.

Fang Yun continued to channel Life Essence Qi.

More and more roots emerged and eventually devoured the metallic shell of the seeds completely.

After spending around twenty points of Life Essence Qi and performing the induction until about twenty roots had grown,

Fang Yun ceased the infusion of Life Essence Qi.

Subsequently, near the base stalks of the previous generation of metal plants, he dug a hole and buried the new generation of metal plants there.

Driven by instinct, the roots of the new generation of metal plants started to slowly absorb the Gold Attribute energy from the body of the previous generation's metal plants.

Seeing this, Fang Yun felt relieved and decided not to continue with the induction.

This was because he discovered that using Life Essence Qi for induction replaced much of the energy needed by the metal plants,

which was not conducive to the new generation's absorption of metallic energy.

It was better to allow it to absorb the metallic energy over some time.

After that, he could proceed with further induction as needed.

Observing that matters had stabilized for the moment, Fang Yun headed back down the mountain.

In the following days, Fang Yun split all the fruits and fed them to the Spiritual Insect.

As for the remaining four seeds, Fang Yun simply placed them aside, letting the Fire Attribute energy within them gradually dissipate.
